Adventure Night at Balfe's Bikes Hackney

🌍 Join us for an evening celebrating all things Adventure!

We've got 2 incredible talks lined up for you.

1. Barry Godin's "Introduction to Bikepacking". Barry started bikepacking 10 years ago and has explored most wild corners of the UK spending 100's of night wild camping, as well as numerous trips to Iceland, and throughout Europe. Barry's is passionate about getting others out there and exploring, which led him to create his successful YouTube channel that documents his adventures. Barry will be taking you through how to get started with bikepacking and all the things you need to make the most of your trip.

2. From Rock N' Roll Photographer to American Explorer with Sophie Abreu. Sophie's first ever talk recounts her extraordinary cycling journey covering 15,000 kilometres through South and Central Americas to Los Angeles. After a decade-long hiatus from cycling, during which she lived a rock 'n' roll lifestyle as a professional photographer, Sophie embarked on this epic adventure. She cycled every day for over a year, immersing herself in the outdoors, life, and the world of cycling. In her talk, she'll be sharing the highs and lows of a journey that profoundly shaped who she is today. It was the biggest trip she had ever undertaken, with no prior cycling knowledge, yet it taught Sophie invaluable lessons about resilience, perseverance, and the beauty of exploration.

🍕 We'll also be putting on some food and drink to keep you well fuelled throughout the evening! Each ticket holder will receive a FREE Styrkr bundle.
